Im thining of buying a P4 2,6/800 cpu, read that some of them will run 3,4-3,5ghz on 1.55vcore and box cooler!
Well now my question: What motherboard should i choose?
Should i go for centerwood/springdale, abit/asus and so on?

i think my vote would have to go to the ic7 max3 at this point. If you have enough money go for it, a lot of people have had great luck with it

Well i was looking for at the Abit IC-7-G, cause i read someone say that the max wasnt the extra money worth. Hmm donno though.

IC7-Max3 would be the CW mb to buy right now. If you don't mind doing Vmods then the P4C800-E would get a vote too.

Well, have any of u guys heard of the SD mobo from Epox? The Epox 4PDA2+ v2.0 which is supposely an update to the original, Vcore up to 1.85v, VAGP up to 2.2v and VDIMM up to 3.3v is what it's suppose to offer in stock form, should suffice for most normal overclockers, maybe the VDIMM might be a tad bit low for some users though ;)
